Here's one for all the frugal cooks?

Question

I literally have
butter
cashews
a bit of sugar
a bit of dried milk
about a quarter loaf of hommade french bread
and two eggs.

I have a terrible sweet tooth? Can I make something??
I was thinking melt the buter and add suager and cook the cashews in it.. What else can I make ? What ever you come up with can have NO other spices. They are not available.

Yummy I could do that.

Well I was going to do the bread pudding thein but there is not an oven proof baking dish here...SOOOO, it has to be made in a skillet.
Maybe I should declare the skinny gods the winner tonight and just drink my water.

Answer 1

You could make a nice little bread pudding. Dice up yoru french bread (about 2 cups worth) and put in a greased dish.

Make custard w/ your 2 eggs and about a cup of milk (1/3 cup dry + cold water to make 1 cup), ½ cup or so of sugar. Pour over bread and let it soak in. Dot tops w/ butter. Sprinkle cashews on and bake at 350 for about 30 min or until you smell it.

Answer 2

MAKE A DESSERT VERSION OF FRENCH TOAST
Toast the cashews in some of the butter in the skillet,
Slice the bread, mix the dried milk with a bit of water. Mix the reconstituted milk and eggs together. Add the sugar. Soak the bread in the mixture until all the liquid is soaked up.
Fry the bread in the butter in a skillet.
When well toasted and yummy, serve wtih the buttery cashews on top. If there is any sugar left, sprinkle it on top as well.
YUM!

Answer 3

Mix the dried milk with water to the right proportions, beat with the two eggs, slice the bread and soak in the egg/milk mixture. Meanwhile, melt the butter in the skillet, add the cashews and sugar and stir til golden, remove from skillet, add soaked bread slices, cook on each side til golden brown, serve with the sugared cashews.

Answer 4

you can carmalize the cashews with the butter, cashews and sugar on the stove. if you have ice cream you could put the carmalized cashews on it.
